That's very true. The fusion/smooth jazz line is as thin as the free jazz/nonsense noise line is. In smooth jazz's defense I think when your tunes can easily be turned into musak (Kenny G) is the downfall of the genre. There are actually quite a few Yellowjacket and Spyro Gyra tunes in the "New Real Book Of Jazz" under pop-fusion classics.
